Method

  1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 2lb loaf tin and line the base and ends with a long strip of baking paper.
  2. Beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla until pale, then beat in the eggs, one by one. Tip in the flour, cinnamon and yogurt. Peel, core and chop apples into small chunks, then add to the bowl and mix everything together with a wooden spoon.
  3. Scrape into the tin, smooth the top and scatter the walnuts down the middle. Bake on a middle shelf for 1 hr 20-30 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
  4. To decorate, put the toffees in a small saucepan with the double cream. Gently heat, stirring, until toffees have melted into a smooth caramel sauce. Cool for about 1 min while you gently turn out the cake. Slowly drizzle the toffee sauce over the top of the cake. Scatter immediately with the extra walnuts - they should stick where they hit toffee. Leave for 10 mins before serving. Best fresh but will keep in an airtight tin for 3-4 days.

    This loaf is very very nice. I make it without the caramel and it's still lovely!

    Really tasty cake. I grated the apples, for a smoother texture for the children, and also used a pot of Activia fat free vanilla yoghurt as I forgot to buy Greek yoghurt. And still it worked!!

    Delicious. Grated a large cooking apple, didn't use the caramel topping - still a hit.

    I had a crop of apples to use and found this recipe... didn't have walnots or toffees though so sprinkled with brown sugar before baking then drizzped with icing after... I made two batches and took to work to share and the comments were more than complimentary. A delicious yet simple bake.

    Great taste but my cake rose and then sank terribly due to the moisture in the applie. Any ideas anyone? I don't want to reduce the fruit as I just love apple cake.

    This recipe sounded so nice, I rarely bake so doubled the quanties to make 2 loaves. I had to use more Greek yogurt as the mixture was too thick. I'm from the UK and live in Florida, I could only find Werthers hard caramels and couldn't find soft toffees, so I used Ghirardelli Milk & Caramel Chocolate Squares which were mostly chocolate unfortunately, (I would have preferred toffee) but it was a success. Mmmm, it's lovely moist, and delicious! This is a keeper.
